The conservative bastards clogging the court and destroying America are pure rubbish, toxic and contagious. They need to be cut off and hermetically sealed so their infection does not spread any further.

The Court is now run by right wing judicial activists with no respect for past established doctrine that contradicts their politics.


Rubbish
Yes, they are.

But, was not the WE the original source of the Steele memorandum?
No. It was leaked by Buzzfeed.
No, I meant the entity that first hired it out. Which was an different right wing Washington rag, the Washington Free Bacon.

Free Bacon?  Do they cover the political pork barrel?
Some typos are just too good.

cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/06/29/secret-service-donald-trump-cassidy-hutchinson-january-6-hearing-nr-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/this-week-in-politics/

My operating assumption is that Hutchinson was told that, because she has little reason to have made it up.

I fully expect the Secret Service to deny they ever said it because to do otherwise damages (further) their ability to be trusted to keep confidential the affairs of any president. That applies whether it happened or it did not happen.

But as previously noted, if they testify about this, what other questions will they be called upon to answer?

Trump corrupted the USSS.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/secret-service-agents-denying-cassidy-hutchinsons-claim-were-trump-yes-men-wapo-reporter-tells-maddow

I am pretty sure that every president has agents who will side with him regardless of cost.

But ""There was a very large contingent of Donald Trump's detail who were personally cheering for Biden to fail. And some of them even took to their personal media accounts to cheer on the insurrection and the individuals riding up to the Capitol as patriots. That is problematic," Leonnig said."

This is just true.

Never to this extent.

The Secret Service kept Woodrow Wilson and FDR health issues secret; why would they not keep Trump s mental health issues secret as well?
Even if more than 2/3 of the country knew about them for years.

They also enabled JFK to literally whore around.

But show me another example of a USSS agent take a leave and become a political appointee (Deputy Chief of Staff) to the principal.

Well, they do call it SECRET SERVICE (quotes) for a reason.

OTOH, if Putin had a lovely courtesan service provider he would have been less likely
to invade another country to make himself feel POWERFUL,

Texas AG Ken Paxton says he would defend Texas' anti-sodomy law if SCOTUS decided to revisit the issue.

Defending state lawmakers

Imagine that.

Re SCOTUS -The court is tossing out an understanding long established between Congress and agencies that receive broad guidelines from Congress.  This is not the normal function of SCOTUS.
From CJ Roberts majority opinion

But the only question before the Court is more narrow: whether the best system of emission reduction identified by EPA in the Clean Power Plan was within the authority granted to the Agency in Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act.

The answer(6-3] is no.
Congress needs to do its job. Not hide behind nameless bureaucrats.

Imagine that.

So, you would be in favor of an AG's defending a state's laws that treated Blacks as property, in the name of defending the state lawmakers.

Duly noted.

Knock yourself out on this:
